Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid decided to rest tight end Travis Kelce for Sunday’s regular-season finale vs. the Los Angeles Chargers. Sitting Kelce down keeps him ready for the playoffs, in which the Chiefs hold the No. 3 seed.
While this seems like the logical move so Kelce stays healthy, the decision will end one of his NFL tight end record streaks this season. By sitting out, he will not reach 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since 2015. Kelce finishes the 2023 season with 984 yards, and he was expected to hit the 1,000 mark on Sunday.
